6:36 pm
flooding, but sometimes it's the opposite. the strongest el nino on record brought some of the worst weather the bay area has ever seen. the el nino winter of 1997-198 packed a powerful punch, relentless rainfall, more than a foot of rain in february, gusty winds, unstable soils and rough surf made it a winter we'll never forget. we also never want a repeat of 197-1998. el nino comes to live with warmer than normal water creating more thunderstorms and what appears to be the middle of nowhere. here's how interdependent the atmosphere s el nino which forms storm 5,000 miles away shouldn't be a problem for california but the jet stream which carries those winter storms goes from here to california and any change in the jet stream here will give a big change all the way down there. now, history shows that a strong el nino essentially guarantees a wet winter in the bay area. often, really wet.
6:37 pm
but here's something really interesting. a weaker el nino with fewer jet stream altering thunderstorms has a much different impact on our weather. since 1950, we have had 19 different el nino winter events. 11 of those 19 were moderate or strong and most of those we had a rough winter a lot of rain and wind. but 8 of those were classified as weak el nino years. out of the eight, two yearsk 2000 every 2006 and 1976 were weak he will ninos which followed a weak la nina. that's the case this year. now in both of these examples, the winter was drier than normal not wetter. now, a second straight dry winter would create other problems like a shorter ski season, worsening water restrictions and a very high fire danger next year. but compared to what we had 15 years ago that within a few drops in the bucket. literally. one important note here. el nino is a very good indicator of what will happen
6:38 pm
for the winter but predict one event that one really bad storm, it's impossible this far out. and it's often those single events that shape whether we think it's been a bad winter or not. i'll have the forecast for this weekend coming up in a few minutes. don't give up hope. there is hope for you. >> a transplant years in the making. why a bay area father had to wait so long. how he finally got that operation. >> for some, this is a shopper's paradise. see what happens when the japanese retailer finally opens its doors here in the bay area. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

6:41 pm
but after learning his immigration status, uc-san francisco medical center denied him an operation. doctors didn't think he could afford the follow-up care. that's when thousands of supporters pushed for ucsf to change its mind and it did. >> don't give up hope. there is hope for you if you are waiting on the list. there are ways that you can receive a transplant because every person here deserves life- saving treatment. [ non-english language ] in oakland heard about the problem and agreed to pay for the follow-up care. jesus had a successful operation and is recovering. in san jose today, many came out to check out the multi- million dollar renovation at the san jose civic auditorium. mayor chuck reed was there to help kick things off and cut the ribbon. the san jose civic is a versatile 3,000 seat venue that hosted such artists as the who, barbra streisand, frank sinatra plus many more over the past 76
6:42 pm
years. the $15 million renovation was completed this year restoring the historic venue back to its old glory. >> we told but all the things going on in the bay area this weekend. here's something else drawing a massive crowd. see what's attracting all these shoppers. the as announced their starting pitchers for games one and two of the alds series in detroit. and the giants, hey, another dress rehearsal as they open up their play-off series against the reds and look at pablo sandoval doing it in style. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,, ,,
